Summary

Have you ever fantasized about attending a camp-like environment for grown-ups? Much about the classic summer camp experience is appealing to us (though not EVERYTHING–we could certainly do without the bugs), and the idea of simply showing up for a perfectly curated experience without any responsibility, or planning, sounds AMAZING. Listen to this fun More Than Mom to hear all of our must-have activities (like food and wine tastings, yoga, personal style consults and more!), things that would be a hard no (like swimming in the gross, murky lake or participating in corny, guided crafts) and our daydreams about creating a Mom Hour Retreat (maybe someday?)! Join us!

Esalen Lodge in Big Sur, California, for an off-the-grid experience

0:00.0	Hi I'm Sarah and I'm Megan. We're two moms with eight kids between us from
0:05.2	little to grown. We're in different areas of the country and in different stages
0:09.0	of life but we both know that motherhood's a lot easier when real moms share
0:12.7	tips and encouragement. And remind you that it's really all gonna be okay. We're
0:16.6	not experts. We're parents who've been there. We're not perfect. We're real.
0:19.9	Welcome to the mom hour. Hi everyone and welcome to the mom hour. I am Megan

0:31.1	Happy Sunday to you. We're bringing you one of our more than mom episodes where
0:35.3	we just talk about fluffy topics. Not necessarily parenting related. And this
0:39.2	one is not really at all parenting related. I'm sure it's related to anything. No
0:44.2	it's it's completely irrelevant to basically anywhere that you are in your
0:47.8	life right now. Except it is the time of year that kids are heading off to
0:52.0	summer camp or maybe we're reminiscing about our time at summer camp as kids.
0:55.6	I'd have had a couple of events that I've been to that were like at a camp
0:59.5	facility so I have not been to summer camp as an adult but like were you'll the
1:04.0	other day I took Owen to his driver's test and it was held at like a camp
1:09.1	facility and I just kind of sat looking around thinking man like a bunch of
1:13.8	kids are gonna get dropped off here soon and they're just gonna have like a

1:21.6	their fun in mind. They have no real responsibilities except just show up and
1:26.3	have fun and we thought it would be really fun for us to fantasize about what
